Hi Troy,
Thank you, that is perfect, I will put that on file along with the other info you sent.
With that information, the short game practice facility grading can occur within the stream buffer, per the
grading plan.
Please let me know if you all have any further questions.

Attached is the buffer mitigation invoice from NCDMS for your records. Once the buffer authorization has been issued
and the NCDMS payment receipt has been issued, I will email you a copy for your files as well.

Teresa,
Good talking with you today. I have attached the following to this email:
• Wildlands Engineering Mitigation payment receipt for the purchase of 84,751.72 sf of buffer mitigation
• Email from NCDMS specifying that payment has been received for the 26,501 sf of buffer mitigation. I spoke
with Kelly Williams at NCDMS, and issuing the mitigation payment receipt before receipt of the Buffer
Authorization would result in procedural issues. Therefore, NCDMS will wait until receipt of the Buffer
Authorization before issuing the mitigation payment receipt.

The attached documents provide assurance that the buffer mitigation required by Guilford County Buffer Authorization
(once issued) has been satisfied. Based on our conversation today, the provision of the attached documentation is
sufficient for the County to allow the permittee to begin construction within the buffers in advance of the issuance of
Buffer Authorization, since the County is waiting on the final written approval for the unanimously approved Major
Variance. Can you please confirm?
Thanks again for all your help with this project. We really appreciate it!

Hi Chuck,
I copied Sue's email from below, as she stated (highlighted), there shouldn't be any issue receiving the receipts
for mitigation once it is paid, regardless of the EMC letter. Please let me know if you have further information
from the mitigation banks stating that they will not issue a receipt until the EMC letter is issued.
Hi Troy,
Yes, the EMC has to issue their final decision in writing. Counsel is aware of the time sensitivity and said they
would do their best to get that out. You should be able to finalize the mitigation process and secure receipts in
the meantime. Once the EMC issues their final decision the County would issue a final approval which
includes all the conditions. Technically the mitigation is to satisfy the County's final authorization, but please
send a copy of the receipts to me also.

We asked the EMC Counsel if the project could start work upon receipt of the 404/401 and all other permits
(erosion control, etc) but prior to their issuance of the EMC written decision and they indicated that they would
not have a concern, provided the Department and the County had no objection, but also provided this statement:
The applicant, however, be aware that should it chose to proceed based on the vote, any action taken under the
"benefits" of the variance would likely be raised in any subsequent challenge to the variance decision. In other
words, if the Committee votes to approve the variance and the applicant proceeds with the work immediately, as
it indicates it plans to do, the fact that the applicant began work based on the Committee's vote would likely be
raised as a defense in the event the applicant later decides to challenge the variance.

Teresa,
Based on the email below that you received on April 6th, the EMC board has no issue with Sedgefield doing the work in
the buffer. The problem is that the letter from the EMC will not be ready till the beginning of next week, that will trigger
the release of the receipts for the mitigation that then could be sent to you. The email indicates that the EMC will allow
the construction within the buffer if you and NCDEQ have no objections. If we wait for all of this communication, they
MAY do construction in the buffer at the end of next week, that losses them 10 days in an already tight schedule. The
client understands that they would be proceeding at their risk, based on the potential of an appeal of the approval.
Can you authorize them to do the work in the buffer now? If you can't, who can authorize the work in the buffer to
proceed immediately?
Thanks,

See email below from Sue Homewood on the next steps for the EMC's issuance of the final decision in writing.
I have requested the buffer mitigation invoice from the mitigation bank, and will forward it once I receive it to facilitate
payment.

Teresa/Sue,
So now that the EMC has approved the major variance, what are the next steps. I know that the EMC has to issue the
"final" approval with conditions. Any idea when that will be officially issued? Also, what triggers the need to purchase
the buffer mitigation, and who do we provide the mitigation payment receipt to?
Thanks! Have a great weekend!
